PROPERTY LOCATION: 534 W. Struck Avenue, in the City of Orange, County of Orange, California
REQUEST: To redevelop a site with a 57,900 square foot (sf) truck terminal, that includes 52,900 sf of
warehouse space and 5,000 sf of office space, and a 5,400 sf maintenance building. The proposed building
would be 45 feet in height and include 84 dock doors in a cross-dock configuration. The Project would provide
automobile parking stalls in excess of the requirements of the Orange Municipal Code, which requires 47
automobile parking stalls. The Project would provide a total of 62 automobile parking stalls consisting of 59
standard parking stalls, 2 standard accessible parking stalls, and one 12 feet by 18 feet accessible parking stall.
Additionally, the Project would provide 188 trailer parking stalls. The Project involves the demolition of the
existing 40,000 sf manufacturing facility and removal of the existing, private spur located on the east side of the
site.
ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION:A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was originally prepared
for the proposed 534 Struck Avenue Project. On September 23, 2021, the City circulated a Notice of Intent to
Adopt Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1870-20 for the Project. The MND was circulated for public review
from September 23, 2021, to October 25, 2021. During the 30-day public review period, comments received
requested additional technical analysis (e.g., air quality and noise modeling, traffic). Therefore, in order to
address the environmental concerns raised, additional analyses were prepared and an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) was prepared to provide comprehensive environmental review of the Project.
The EIR, California State Clearinghouse (SCH) No. 2021090399, was prepared in accordance with CEQA
Guidelines Article 9, Sections 15120-15132 to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with
planning, constructing, and operating the proposed Project. This EIR does not recommend approval or denial of
the proposed Project; rather, this EIR is a source of factual information regarding potential environmental
impacts that may result from implementation of the Project. The Draft EIR was made available for public
review for a minimum period of 45 days, between March 31, 2023, and May 15, 2023. The City prepared and
published responses to written comments received on the environmental effects of the Project. The Final EIR
will be considered for certification by the City of Orange decision-makers.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15087(c)(6), the Project site is listed on the EnviroStor database for a
historic recognized environmental condition; however, a no further action was recommended as remediation of
soil was completed by Orange County. Implementation of the proposed Project may result in significant
environmental effects related to the following topical issues:
Biological Resources (impacts to nesting migratory birds)
Cultural Resources (potential to encounter significant subsurface archaeological resources)
Geology and Soils (potential to unearth and adversely impact paleontological resources)
Hazards and Hazardous Materials (soils contaminated with VOCs)
Tribal Cultural Resources (potential to unearth and adversely impact tribal cultural resources)
Copies of the documents are available for public review at City Hall, in the Offices of the City Clerk and
Community Development Department and were posted to the Departments web page on the City’s web site at:

PROJECT APPLICANT:Prologis L.P.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:At their July 17, 2023, meeting, the Planning Commission
